I had searched far and wide on the internet for mirrored false nails and couldn't find a reliable source so I had given up. Last week I go to my local Dollar Tree to get fake flowers and LO AND BEHOLD I FOUND THESE BEAUTIES: Metallic gold false tips so shiny you can use them as a mirror (seriously though you can see my phone case in every single picture).

They were sold out in silver but I got one in gold and pink. I went back yesterday to buy more but they were sold out :( Once I find them again I'll be doing a flash giveaway!

This is what they looked like when I bought them. They were really long so once I applied them to my nail I filed them down to the same size as my natural nails.

Steps to apply false tips:

Thoroughly clean your nail with acetone

Apply a dehydrator (optional). I used Cuccio's Dehydrator from HB Beauty Bar

I know Halloween was almost two weeks ago but I have to post my last Halloween nail looks! I promise I'll get back to the swing of things. Life has been so crazy busy lately.

Since my favorite Holiday is over (but it's okay, because Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and my Birthday is next!), I won't go into too much details. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments!

I always do my gradients over white unless I'm using two light colors. I find the colors come out more vibrant.

Make sure to check out Daily Charme for super cute charms! Their Halloween charms are so amazing and unique.

How to place the nail charms:
I put a dot where I'm going to place a charm then once the glue has dried a few seconds to where it's tacky I place the charm and add glue around it and once the glue dries I put top coat around it. That almost always makes the charm stay in place to the point where I pretty much have to pry it off my nail (It doesn't damage your nail as long as you have polish as a layer between the glue and your nail).
